The Transition in Central and Eastern European Politics

This book introduces students to some of the larger political issues as well as facilitating comparative analysis, the book also examines the success or failure of the states in reaching their stated goals of creating a civil society, democratic institutions/political rights, a market economy, and a law-based society.

Though not in vogue with the ever-increasing emphasis on quantitative analysis and microspecialization, this interdisciplinary approach has numerous benefits. It gives students a general introduction to the region, helps them understand why states that shared a common political legacy for forty-five years can be so different today, and, most important, helps them draw comparative conclusions. In summary, we use the detailed country studies to help students understand events that are simultaneously occurring in very different countries.

The layout of the book is straightforward. The first chapter introduces the analytical framework through which all the states are examined. The next four chapters are country case studies that help students identify the differences and similarities between the states. The concluding chapter integrates these comparisons in order to shed light on the profound changes occurring throughout Central and Eastern Europe.

Because of a dearth of library resources, the first draft of this manuscript was based on student interviews with businesspeople, embassy officials, and other sources. The insights gained from talking with policy makers and people directly affected by the regime change greatly enhanced the students' work, and thus this manuscript. Therefore, a special note of recognition goes to Galina Chuleva, "Jimmy" Dimitrov, Olya Egorova, Vesselina Kolcheva, Ivanka Lakova, Velina Nedialkova, Maria Spirova, Nadia Tisheva, Vessala Todorova, and Deniz Toro, who wrote the "first draft" of this book. While working on subsequent versions, I was fortunate to have four very conscientious research assistants. Dawn Jones, Mike Hutchinson, Leah Thayer, and Marjorie Tillinghast. They not only helped with bibliographic research, fact checking, proofreading, and preparing the country chronologies, but also helped to ensure that the book was "student friendly," that the tone, style, and concepts were appropriate for their peers.
